Remnants of Hurricane Rosa

Sunday evening I was at Starbucks with the GF just taking it easy and enjoying my passion tea. Outside the wind was starting to pick up. Dirt tidal waves were moving across empty barren lots and spilling over onto the road and parking lot. Trees started to move like the inflatable tube socks on a car dealership lot. The sky even lit up on occasion. Then the remnants of Hurrican Rosa decided to pass through. Rosa dumped a lot of rain in the short time that it was over us. I think it only stayed for around 45 minutes, she was moving really fast. The few of us in the building just stared at the rain falling with some force behind it. You were able to here it slap the pavement and bounce off the vehicles. Overall, no major damage. We are supposed to probably still get a little rain and perhaps some lightning to with it tonight segueing into tomorrow morning. I hope the gif gives you some idea of what it was like. GIF- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos

@Plethos Yeah, hurricanes, tropical storms are easy to move in a sense, not by me, but other parts of mother nature. They can change course quick and what I was trying to tell my sister. We in for some major rain, Not necessarily, these things change quick.

@crossbones27 - apparently shes never seen the jet stream graphics on the weather channel. thats why its called a weather forecast, its basically another way of saying, its a guess.

it took a more eastern direction once it went over land, or else you probably wouldve gotten the outer western edge of it.

It poured and with force. During those moments the best is to stay inside and enjoy something warm.

@Plethos I have never experienced tropical rain with hot temperatures. When we have summer storms here, the temperature always drops.

I get the picture of the heavy rain. What does GIF stand for please? I should just look it up but perhaps you know off the top of your head. Or you could make something up. I wouldn't know the difference and I'm very gullible.
